Q: Do I have to use a preferred caterer?

A: No. However, we provide a list of caterers for your convenience if you so choose. The caterers on our list have been to the Ranch for a previous event, and have provided good customer service.

Q: Why do we have to use one of the professional bartending services from TBS Ranch's list, when my friend is also a professional and can serve?

A: This can be a deal breaker for some brides in booking with us and we completely understand. Unfortunately, we are very strict with this requirement at TBS Ranch. We are very comfortable with the 2 bartending services we refer; both have been serving at the Ranch for several years and know all of our rules. They have all of the proper credentials and insurance required by the California Alcohol and Beverage Control. Other venues that allow you to serve your own alcohol may not warn you of the liabilities of doing so.

Q: Do I have to rent a tent for shade?

A: No. Our outdoor ceremony area is almost completely shaded in mid to late afternoon with trees. The reception barn is completely covered and is equipped with swamp coolers, but they are small and cannot keep up with some of the scorching hot summer days of Redding. Summer events can make their guests more comfortable with optional large cooler rentals from an outside source.
